Sunday New York Rangers trade deadline rumor roundup

As the trade deadline draws nearer, the rumors are abound about who the New York Rangers will target to improve the team for a playoff run. There are a bunch of them, so here we go.

• Larry Brooks says that the Rangers might target Mark Letestu of Columbus, Torrey Mitchell of Buffalo, or Curtis Glencross of Calgary.
• As for Glencross, who requested a trade from Calgary in the midst of a potential playoff push, he has a limited no-trade clause and the Rangers would need to be on that list of teams in which he will accept a trade.
• Steve Zipay notes that the Rangers may also target James Sheppard of San Jose, Kyle Brodziak of Minnesota, Daniel Winnik of Toronto, Erik Condra of Ottawa, Jan Hejda of Colorado, or Brett Bellmore of Carolina.
• Zipay also notes that the Rangers will not part ways with their top three prospects: Anthony Duclair, Pavel Buchnevich, or Brady Skjei. Zip says Danny Kristo and others in the AHL are available for the right return. It’s worth noting that Kristo is a UFA after this year, and has minimal value.
• Non trade related news: Jesper Fast skated in practice today, which is always a good sign. He was in a non-contact jersey.
